A worker has died after he was struck in the head by a crane at a steel distribution facility in Sydney's south-west.
WorkCover NSW has launched an investigation into a 30-year-old's death at Southern Steel Supplies in Milperra early on Monday morning. Paramedics were called to the facility on Horsley Road at 6.30am after reports that a man had been critically injured when he was struck by a large magnet that was attached to a crane. Colleagues of the man, who was bleeding heavily, performed CPR until emergency services arrived. The man was taken to Liverpool Hospital, but died a short time later. A WorkCover NSW spokesperson said inspectors were at the facility and had launched an investigation. "Initial enquiries indicate the 30-year-old male worker sustained critical head injuries when he was struck by a crane magnet device. The worker later passed away from his injuries," the spokesperson said. Police have been contacted for comment.

I am the wife of the man in your blog post. I want to correct it. He was hit in the chest, not in the head. He was killed instantly.
